Personal Journeys by Land, Water and Air

Canada is about discovery, surprise, landscapes and waterways of unimaginable beauty; a journey that brings you back to yourself. After all, Canada is a land built for explorers.

Board a luxury train and journey through the magnificent Canadian Rockies.

Take a private seaplane or helicopter to a remote luxury lodge.

Have your personal driver guide at your disposal throughout your stay.

Wander, trek, voyage or glide; getting around Canada is half the fun.

Active Adventure Among Awe-inspiring Natural Wonders

No matter how you like to explore Canada’s dramatic natural wonders, from heli-skiing to an easy hike through an alpine meadow, awe and inspiration are within easy reach.

Sit mesmerized by the aurora borealis (Northern Lights) from the comfort of a hot tub.

Get soaked by Niagara Falls and experience a private wine-tasting tour at a nearby winery.

Watch polar bears prowl the shores of Hudson Bay near Churchill, Manitoba, or the Kermode Spirit Bear in northern BC.

Natural wonders are abundant in Canada and so are the ways to enjoy them.

Vibrant Cities on the Edge of Nature

Canadian cities are all about the urban buzz.

French-flavoured city centres Montréal and Québec City are chic and distinct, where history and architecture mingle with modern life.

Coastal cities like Vancouver are laid-back yet culturally trendy, while Victoria is charming, gracious and old-world elegant. Then there’s Halifax, hip, youthful and always entertaining. These are all places where you can explore museums, galleries and nightclubs, plus enjoy world-class cuisine.

You’ll also find plenty of breathing room, a wealth of natural beauty and green space to go with those urban rhythms.

Nature is more than a backdrop in Canadian cities. It’s a symbol of freedom; the freedom to explore.

Connecting with Canadians

Approachable and authentic that’s how travellers come to describe the cast of characters they meet across Canada. There’s no better way to get immersed in a place than to get a feel for the people.

Meet a friendly Maritime fisherman on the docks of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. Share stories with a local at the Yukon Storytelling Festival. Learn the traditional life of the Great Plains people at Alberta’s famous buffalo jump. Meet a third-generation cheesemaker along la route des fromages in Quebec.

Welcoming travellers with open arms gives them the sense of connection they crave and those authentic, meaningful moments keep them coming back.

6 7

Award-winning Canadian Cuisine

Put scenic landscapes and a love of food together and you get the ingredients for a sumptuous experience of taste and touch.

Capturing the flavour of a place is as easy as offering unique, locally sourced ingredients, a taste of ethnic fusion, a return to natural freshness.

Visit a microbrewery in Quebec for a small batch of craft beer. Add friendly people, charming settings and you’ve got a savoury dining experience that captures the essence of Canadian cuisine.

Try world renowned Asian fusion restaurants in Vancouver. Feel the connection between sea, soil and plate in Nova Scotia where an organic menu is prepared in the Slow Food tradition. Dining in the high Rockies can mean the best of surf (roasted wild Pacific salmon) and turf (bison strip loin). Shuck your own world-famous Malpeque oysters on Prince Edward Island.

When travellers get a true taste of the local flavours, the memory lingers long after they clean their plates.

Vibrant Vancouver Vancouver is truly spectacular by nature! It is a hip, modern and laid-back metropolis surrounded by stunning scenery with an ocean foreground and a backdrop of lush rainforest, beaches and snow-capped mountains.

Renowned for its curious mix of urban, outdoor and wildlife adventures, Vancouver is a lifestyle city unlike any other.

Beyond its rugged ambiance, Vancouver is a refined city that offers chic and world-class experiences from luxury boutique accommodation to an eclectic range of restaurants.

It is no surprise that this charming ‘city of nature’ has been consistently named one of the best destinations to visit.
